“Sherri is the only person my shy cat has played with that isn’t me or my husband. My kitties and home were well taken care of while we were away. Very grateful for Sherri!”

“Nicole was on time and was a great communicator ! Quick to respond , flexible and was very sweet to our baby max ! She did a great job cleaning up ! Will definitely use her services again !”
“Stacey watched our cats for a week while we were traveling. She is so caring and thoughtful about the cats of makes it easier for us to be away from them. Absolutely recommend booking Stacey to take care of your pets!!! She is the best.”
“Trevor was so fantastic! He came everyday to check on my cats and they all loved him so much! He was very thorough and made sure they got some extra love while we were gone. Will definitely book again”
“Kate is fabulous! I get so many cute pictures of my guy and up to date minutes for the visits. He just enjoys her caring for him while we are away. With Kate it’s like I never left him. Thanks Kate for allowing us to get away and have such great care for him!”
“Gabriela did an amazing job watching my dog, Max. He can be a bit anxious at first but warmed up to her quickly. I felt very comfortable leaving her in charge of him and will definitely reach out to her for visits in the future. She kept me well updated and took such great care of him. Would highly recommend!”
“Nakisha was fantastic with our cat, super attentive. She not only fed her, but played with her every day and sent us lovely photos and videos to ease our minds. Highly recommended her services!”
“This is the 2nd time Monika has taken care of Belle of Jasmine. She’s super reliable, communicative, and has even helped me with my last minute travel. I will be using her from now on to help with my fur babies!”
“This was the first time leaving my fur babies in the hands of a sitter and Whitney made me feel at ease. Having a dog and 3 cats, I was very nervous since their routine is a bit complicated but they all warmed up to her and she did everything perfectly. She would send pictures and write a detailed paragraph that I would look forward to. Will definitely be using Whitney in the future.”
About: I own my own 2 dogs. I’ve helped one of them when giving birth and had their little puppies. Enjoy working with dogs and have so much love for them. Despite having a busy schedule with baseball, I always make time for pets. I’m willing to work any possible time and do whatever you need me to do with the dogs. I feed my dogs and give them water. I give them daily walks and make sure they are healthy and taken care of at their best.
“Emma came to take our dogs out while we were away for the day. She sent pics both times, one of which is my new favorite picture of Ollie. We will not hesitate to book Emma again.”
About: We have experience working in dog daycares and have been doing dog care in and outside our home for the past 3 years. We love dogs and pride ourselves on giving them the family experience. We follow all owners rules while they are in our care but they will be treated like our pets, members of our family. We have a large fenced in yard and are experienced keeping active dogs entertained and properly exercised. We currently have 4 rescue dogs. We have a large house, climate controlled dog care building and multi-fenced yard so if your dog doesn't like other dogs, keeping them separated is not a problem. We are almost always available and can be flexible with your schedule and needs. We are able to take last minute requests for any services offered. We have an acre and live in a quiet neighborhood. We love walking dogs, playing fetch and tug a war. Your dogs will get lots of love under my care.
“Leroy was a big help, when we brought our puppy home. Skye really enjoyed seeing him for her potty break every day, while I was at work. I would highly recommend him to anyone! And if I need a pet sitter again, he would be my first choice.”
About: I’ve been taking care of all sorts of different pets ever since I was 5 years old from chickens to fish, cats, dogs, you name it! I used to cat sit and dog walk at my last home base in Hanscom AFB, MA. I am comfortable boarding up to 3 pets at a time whenever for however long considering they all get along! Ideally, I can do day care at my house or drop-ins (walks!) at yours between 8am-12pm M-F. I live in a one-floor ADA house so it is both special-needs and senior-friendly with an enclosed deck + pool that connects to a securely fenced backyard and plenty of space with real grass for your companion to roam free in! I am more than happy to offer supervised pool time; it’s such a great exercise for both myself and pets! I usually try to get the majority of pets outside in a day I love taking walks and I am happy to take them out as any times needed so please bring them with a collar & a leash, if possible!
“Rachel & fam were great with Captain! A previous visit had to be cancelled due to illness, but she let me know ahead of time so I could find other options. I really appreciated the open communication! This visit I came home and Captain was happy as a clam :)”
“Maggie did an amazing job. We can tell the dogs are happy and have been well taken care of while we were gone. We will definitely use her in the future and would recommend her to anyone in the area looking for a great dog sitter.”
“Amanda did an excellent job! She responded promptly when I first reached out. She was very thorough with her questions when she came to visit, and the other great reviews on her page gave me lots of confidence for working with her. I usually hire my friends, some of whom have never watched a cat before and do an okay job, so hiring Amanda was very refreshing and money well spent. She left very thorough rover cards after each visit with many pictures. One thing that really stood out to me was how careful she was when opening/closing/locking the door. My biggest fear is my cat getting outside (even though it has never happened), and I have a camera on my door. I could see her carefully scanning the area by the door when opening/closing it, and she also jiggled the door handle after locking to ensure that it was secure. In the past, I've had to remind my friends to do that and leave notes for them by the door, but Amanda made sure to do it unprompted, so that really demonstrated how responsible and serious she is about her job.”
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Riverview is $20

Before Katherine, we had only ever left our dog, Xena, with family. Even then, she would often come home a little out of sorts because she was most comfortable in our home and loves her routine. When a friend who was supposed to stay at our house had a last-minute emergency, I had to find other arrangements for Xena on short notice. After visiting several boarding facilities, I knew I couldn't leave her there. Someone suggested Rover, but the thought of having a stranger come into my home when we weren't there to take care of my dog made me nervous. I read a lot of reviews, and Katherine's profile stood out. The photos she shared of her family loving the dogs she cared for won me over. Her many 5-star reviews and many repeat customers gave me confidence that she was someone special. I sent her a message, she came to visit with our family and we knew we found our person for this trip and the future. Katherine's Rover Cards were fun to read, thoughtful, and often made me smile or laugh because she seemed to understand Xena's personality so well. It was clear that Xena wasn't just being watched...she was being loved. Katherine is kind, responsible, communicative, and loves animals. I was truly able to enjoy my time away knowing my dog was happy and safe. I will absolutely be using Katherine again and would recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional care for their pet.
Sherri has been absolutely amazing with my kitties! I asked her to see them last second and she quickly responded. She sends great pictures and plays with my kitties with the toys she brings, and they love it! I always feel at ease when she visits my kitties while I'm out of town. I highly recommend Sherri!!!
Nakisha was so nice and easy to work with! I reached out to her last minute on a holiday weekend and she was able to take the booking and schedule a meet-and-greet all within a short time frame. While we were gone, she updated us every day with pictures and description of our cat’s attitude/well being. I felt completely at ease with her handling the care of our cat and will definitely be using her from here on out!! Hiring Nakisha is a blessing for your pet care
Another great trip thanks to Christine! The meows love her and we love coming home to happy cats! Had a travel snafu this time and Christine was available to step in, easing the chaos of rerouted flights and leaving us with one less thing to worry about. Christine is great and we are looking forward to our next trip thanks to her!
Bobby was great! He was extremely responsive from start to finish. I requested a booking pretty last minute and he came by next day to meet the pups. My dogs immediately liked him and he was so good with them. I will 100% be booking with Bobby the next time I need assistance.
Norah is a reliable and trustworthy dog sitter. She was respectful of my property and took great care of my dog while I was away. Most importantly, she showed genuine love and kindness toward my dog. I truly appreciated her help and would gladly recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible and caring sitter. 🐾😊

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of June 2026, there are 7,286 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Riverview. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Riverview stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Riverview. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
